Astral Locale

[shadowatcher]

Great Idea, and good luck, maybe you should hold an astral meeting type thingy yearly, or monthly, or weekly, because some of us (me) who are just starting APing wont be ready right away.

this idea is amazing! i'd be more than willing to participate, though i'll have to learn how to phase...i am pretty new to astral travel, but this would be great! i'm particularly fond of lasher's idea of a big stone 'AP' on a grassy knoll...simple for beginners (like me), yet with lots of room to add things to...only concern of mine is that we'll ever get this done...it hasn't seemed to go too far at all since early may...oh well, no matter what i'll definitely be a part of this!

I really like your idea Adrian.  I'm really new to all of this but I'd like to help in any way I can.  I agree with everyone that's saying that we should get something physical (physical wouldnt be the word for it, but I don't have a better one.) started soon if we're ever going to get this Locale up and running.  And as for trouble, I really don't understand how the devil has anything to do with it, I'm still a bit lost on that one.

This is an awesome idea. I cant' wait till I can finally OBE to get there. []

Yeeahh.. Me too

It's not a good idea, in my opinion to meet in such a dramatic/awfull  place/moment...not very peacefully nor attractive if you ask me [B)]

[LA FORET MAUVE]

I did a little work for you all ! What do you think of this place ?!

[LA FORET MAUVE]

I would like to call this little island API (Astral Pulse Island)...
As i can't control my projections yet, i would like to ask someone more experimented to print it (on paper or in the mind) and to go there to tell us if it is a viable place to chill and meet...althought i'm sure it's a good place, i felt it when doing the montage ! []

Made me thinking about this book/movie "the beach"...keep the location of the island secret ! []

[danuschka]

Hey Mauve!
I love the AP island.. simple yet lovely.
The pyramid is powerful, the surroundings beautiful, peaceful.....
Small enough to deal with. Maybe needs a door/portal to satisfy others requirements.
Can we  PLEASE have a vote and get started[sigh
Tonight would be good..yes?
Love,Danush

[LA FORET MAUVE]

thank you, glad that you liked Api !
If you look closely, there is a little...hmm don't know how to say that in english...like a little "bridge" for boats, it could be a "door"...but in my opinion the pyramid is a portal in itself, just visualise the simple form of the island and the pyramide and voila ! You're here [] Or just print the image, put it on your wall and go through the image...
I did a lucid dream this night but couldn't maintain my attention for long time (tooo tired)...i bet i have some practice to do before even be able to go on Api [|)]

I really like your Astral Pulse Island []

The final locale needs to have a few more different features as well. We also need the portals to various other realms including the kingdoms of the elements. Such portals do not need to be doors as such, they could be trees or anything else which has been energised as a portal.

Thanks to everyone else for your graphics offers and suggestions as well.

I have been letting this one run for a time to see what ideas and suggestions came up, as well as offers for graphics etc..

I think we are reaching the point now where we need to start this project. The first thing we need is the graphic of the Astral locale upon which we have broad agreement.

If anyone else can post some graphics suggestion and preferably images we can start moving this project forwards.

Thank you everyone for your contrinutions so far!

With best regards,

Adrian.

Thank you ! I was thinking that we could do a lot inside the pyramide...there is a lot of place in it ! []
But i think that it is better to start with a "virgin" locale, first we go there and meet, then we bring other elements...anyway i'm sure the local will look differents every time we'll go there !

[Greytraveller]

The pyramid island looks very good LA FORET MAUVE. The location of the large pyramid as the central feature and also a major portal is a clever idea.[]
If more portals are to be added to the island I suggest that several large arches be added along the shore and amoung the trees. Or perhaps both large mirrors and arches.  [8D]

[Links Shadow]

I love API, LA FORET MAUVE, it is amazing.  About adding portals and such I think that stones set across the island could have symbols on them of some sort, something that we make up.  Sort of like those rocks with writing on them that you put in gardens. For us it will be like the symbol is what gives it its ability to transport us where ever we like.  They would be our magical symbols that no one else knows of.  Just a thought.

Hey, i love the idea. Seems that you could make a simple place and see how it works for a while and if it needs something add it later. I like the island pyramid. He could add the astral pulse logo over the dock. Lets put this idea into action!

this is such a great idea, very very excited:) i jsut hope that i will be abel to learn to ap soon so i can go there... we should definately start on this

[bennypr2002]

I think API is great. I suggest that the portals be on each side of the pyrimid. So all 4 sides of the pyrimid have a labeled gateway to 4 diffrent places. Wells thats my idea, so let get this party started!

This is one of the whole points of this project.

It will provide those who are not expert at AP the focus and motivation to achieve it.

The process will work like this. The more people who visualise and focus energy on the locale, the more solid and real it will become in the Astral. This will take some time of course, depending on how many people participate and how frequently the locale is visited.
The objective is to make it totally solid of course so it remains ad-infinitum.

To start with, for those who cannot AP, it will start out as a sort of meditation where you will relax and focus all of your concentration on the locale, and imagine travelling and being there. To start with you would achieve a mental projection where you would be there, but not be perceiveble by others in an Astral body. I think this is the way it will have to be for everyone initially, because the locale needs to be created by visualisation and concentration. It would be possible to create it in the Astral, but that would not be the way to do it - we need as many different people as possible involved. Ideally everyone will perform this meditation once or twice each day, morning and nigh being the best. Soon, if all goes according to plan, people will be able to perceive others there, and what started out as a meditation and mental projection will turn into a full Astral projection.

This is actually phasing in every respect; focussing totally on an image with full concentration until your consciousness is projected there. This is the objective of all participants.

We need to finalise the design of the locale soon. I really do like API, so all we need to do is to add more details such as portals etc.. Having said that, the portals will need to be created in the Astral at the locale itself. But we can still have the doorways.

Personally I think we need a closer view of API as it stands so we can get much more detail on the beach around it, of the palm trees etc. We could also do with extending the beach to facilitate more details, although not too much detail. We need to be mindful of the fact that the locale needs to be an image which can ultimately be memorise for meditation and phasing. To start with however it will be perfectly alright to relax and simply concentrate totally on the image.

All other ideas welcome!

With best regards,

Adrian.

The APL looks great I can't wait to try this once it's setup.  It will certainly be good motivation for me to ap more.

[Adrian]

Greetings everyone,

I think we need to start moving towards the final concept for the Astral Locale. I personally really like Astral Pulse Island, with the caveat of the modifications I mentioned before; specifically we need a closer perspective where we can see much more detail on the shoreline, more detail of the palm trees and perhaps other details as well. These are all things we can discuss however.

? What do you mean ??!(sorry for my poor english) [B)]
I think that to draw a map could be interesting but...anyway , the locale will be different for everypeople, everytime we make a visit...this is inevitable...i think it may gains more "solidity" if visited frequently and it's the only way in my opinion...
What i suggest is to simply meditate/visualise/enterwhenprojecting/whatever on the pic to GO there...and report to make the other members motivation to arise. As the picture is pretty simple it is easier to visualise than a whole thing with too much details...
I'll try to visualise it, promise...but i still can't project yet, so...[]
To the other members who can project (OMWCP[|)])...GO TO API NOW []

[LA FORET MAUVE]

Oh by the way !
The more people will look at the pic, the more it will "solidify" in the human mind....is it possible to access the pic without having to browse this thread ? That would be great...or maybe just send it (API spam []) to all members...
The thing is that i don't know who took the original pic of the island...bah...

[Tao]

Yeah... nice..
This project has been up for some time...
Why don`t the experienced APers test this things.. only the newbies seem to be interested
Adrian.. can you project ?

Anyway I`m a newbie too (2 years) (but can`t AP) so I`m interested too

Yours,
mike

[bennypr2002]

This has been dragging for a while now. Its about time we put this plan into action, and make our own locale. i want to just lay on that one sanded beach and chill.

[Nick]

That's a great image La Foret Mauve. I have just started picturing that image in my astral phasing. Perhaps I will get there at some point. []

Very best,
